IS THERE ANY HOPE?
NEW AND IMPORTANT OPINIONS OF
PULMONARY ENPERTSl
Can the Universal Consumption be Success
fully Treated.

ANN1 hANhANus
Dr. Borgeon, leading French doe
or, has new treatment for consump-
toni
He gives an enema of carbonic acid
aud sulphuretted hydrogen gases. the lat
ter gas carrying the former into every
part of the throat and lungs.
This treatment, too. is directed at
effects-the cause remains undisturbed
What this cause is has been stated
by perhaps the highest pulmonary
authority in the world, i. e., the Bromp-
ton Hospital for Consumptiyes, in
London, Eng.
This malady every year carries of
from one-seyenth to one-fifth of the
entire population of England
DIR. Payne, NJ. d., NJ. Il. G. p,
London, is authority for this state
ment.
The same or a greater proportion of
deaths obtains in America
DR. Payne also says that one-half
the total number of deaths from all
other causes have seeds of this disease
in the system which only require some
irritant to develop!
DIR. Hermann Brehmer, an eminent
German authority, says that consump-
ton is caused by deficient nutrition of
the lungs, by poor blood.
These authorities cannot be disputed.

The uric acid is the irritant in the blood
that causes the development of the
seeds which DIR. Brehmer says lie dor
mant IN the blood.
Every particle of blood which passes
through the lungs and heart, also goes
through the kidneys, and if they are in
the least deranged they cannot rid the
blood of its killing poison The thous-
and little hair-like sewer tubes of the
kidneys very easily get blocked up and
diseased; and when they do, they cor
rupt instead of purifying the blood.
Kidney disease may exist. and vet no
pain occur in that organ, because it is
deficient in nerves of sensation.
Dip your finger in acid every day and
it soon testers and is DESTROYED Send
acid poisoned blood through the lungs
every second, and they soon give way.
The Brompton Hospital investigation
showed that 80 per cent. of the victims
of consumption were afflicted with de-
ranged kidneys, which permitted the
uric acid poison to remain in the blood
and irritate the lungs. This uric acid
is always fighting every vital organ,
and if there be any inherent weakness
in the lungs it inevitably causes pneu-
monia, cough and consumption.
The real cause of pulmonary troubles
being so authoritatively shown 20 be
faulty even though unsupported action
of the kidneys, explains why, in order
to master the dreaded consumption, one
must rid the blood of the uric acid
irritant which in6ames and burns up the
lung substance. For this purpose there
IS nothing equal to that great specific.
Warmers safe cure. o This RENE
dy has now the favor of medical
men all over the world purely on its
merits. We have no doubt that if the
kidneys are kept in natural action. con-
sumption and a great many other d IS
eases, caused by uric-aciG will not
only be cured but viii be prevented.
When the kidney is healthy, no
albumen appears in the water, but
albumon is found in the water of more
than half of those who die of consump-
ton!
This. then, is the condition OF things
that always precedes consumption:
First, weakened kidneys, second, re-
tanned uric acid, poisoning the blood,
third, the development of disease in the
lungs by the irritant acids passing
through them. Then there is little
cough in the morning; soon thick, yell
low matter is spit up, followed by loss
of flesh and strength, with dreadful
night sweats; and when the patient
goes to his school physician for help, he
is put on cod liver oil which his stomach,
weakened also by uric acid in the blood,
cannot digest. Because there is no
pain present in the kidneys, the patient
does not think they are affected, but the
kidney acid is doing its work every
minute, every hour, day and night, and
by-and-by the disease of the lungs has
advanced until pus is developed, then
come hemOrrhages, and at last the
CLASSY stare which denotes that the end
is neari
A poSt-mortem examination of such
cases shows that the terrible uric acid
has completely destroyed the substance
of the lung.
1t is impossible to cure lung disease
when the blood is poisoned with uric
acid.
